About Zora no Densha

Zora no Densha is a modification for Minecraft that brings tracks, rail vehicles, and a lot of other railway-related features into the game. The initial idea is based off a private server project for which no suitable railway-themed modification could be found, ultimately leading to the creation of Zora no Densha.

Today, Zora no Densha brings realistic trains with high detail and great customisability into your Minecraft worlds. We are striving to increase simplicity while maintaining complexity, so everyone can enjoy a realistic mod without having to worry about too much complication. That's what we are working on - today, tomorrow, and in years to come.
